From Design to Production, We’ve Got You Covered
Experts in traditional and CNC-cut patterns
Everything begins with a pattern; a vision brought to life from a 2D drawing or a 3D CAD model, pattern making plays an essential role in design and manufacturing. Mould Ability is home to a team of highly skilled, traditional engineering pattern makers, who with their analytical precision work to tight tolerances to manufacture quality patterns. Their meticulous approach is based on years of industry experience.
Our traditional, time-honoured skills complement the latest technology with our CAD/ CAM packages, namely Autodesk PowerMill and PowerShape, which provide maximum efficiency on our 5-axis CNC machine. This balanced blend, in which we respect tradition while embracing the future, allows us to offer excellence in pattern making services.
Our client-centric approach emphasises how we care about the service that we provide. We get to know the details of our clients’ projects to ensure that the patterns are diligently produced, regardless of how intricate they may be. Pattern making is truly the ultimate craftsmanship, in which we take great pride. Mould Ability is a first-choice destination for all pattern making needs and we guarantee that every detail, down to the quality of the surface finish, be it high-gloss or a specialist textured finish, will be carried out with precision.
